Travelling by RV

Jasper National Park

Are you planning your road trip to Jasper National Park with a recreational vehicle (RV) or holiday trailer? Since you are driving a large vehicle, some extra planning is required to make sure you can navigate to the places you want to go. Make sure you know if your vehicle is too big for certain roads or parking lots. Consider taking a break from driving by using alternative transportation options.

Portions of Jasper National Park remain closed or affected due to impacts from the Jasper Wildfire. Please check for up to date information.
